Winterland
"Winter Only World" Contest
Sci-fi

On a planet more remote than X,
Almost unseen by our telescopes,
Where no manned raft would ever go,
Thereat no complex organism would survive
Upon a surface of frozen ice and snow_
Ice in columns and myriad shapes,
Snow in glaciers as on Earth
And air colder than an Earth winter wind.
Remoter from our Sun and all its warmth
Dark and still as  surrounding space
Any man who sets his feet
Would freeze instantly and there remain

For Winter Only World Contest @#PoeticCondition.
A remote planet, colder than X and uininhabitable.

I really adore the past two lines. I don't know, there's just an air of finality around it....

Now that I think about it, approaching it this was makes waaaaay more sense than whatever the hell I did.

Absolutely chilling. I like the very literal take on the theme. Good luck!
